Now that the struct xfs_icdinode is not directly related to the
on-disk format, we can cull things in it we really don't need to
store:
- magic number never changes
- padding is not necessary
- next_unlinked is never used
- inode number is redundant
- uuid is redundant
- lsn is accessed directly from dinode
- inode CRC is only accessed directly from dinode
Hence we can remove these from the struct xfs_icdinode and redirect
the code that uses them to the xfs_dinode appripriately. This
reduces the size of the struct icdinode from 152 bytes to 88 bytes,
and removes a fair chunk of unnecessary code, too.

Calls to xfs_bmap_finish() and xfs_trans_ijoin(), and the
associated comments were replicated several times across
the attribute code, all dealing with what to do if the
transaction was or wasn't committed.
And in that replicated code, an ASSERT() test of an
uninitialized variable occurs in several locations:
error = xfs_attr_thing(&args);
if (!error) {
error = xfs_bmap_finish(&args.trans, args.flist,
&committed);
}
if (error) {
ASSERT(committed);
If the first xfs_attr_thing() failed, we'd skip the xfs_bmap_finish,
never set "committed", and then test it in the ASSERT.
Fix this up by moving the committed state internal to xfs_bmap_finish,
and add a new inode argument. If an inode is passed in, it is passed
through to __xfs_trans_roll() and joined to the transaction there if
the transaction was committed.
xfs_qm_dqalloc() was a little unique in that it called bjoin rather
than ijoin, but as Dave points out we can detect the committed state
but checking whether (*tpp != tp).

Rather than just being able to turn DAX on and off via a mount
option, some applications may only want to enable DAX for certain
performance critical files in a filesystem.
This patch introduces a new inode flag to enable DAX in the v3 inode
di_flags2 field. It adds support for setting and clearing flags in
the di_flags2 field via the XFS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl, and sets the
S_DAX inode flag appropriately when it is seen.
When this flag is set on a directory, it acts as an "inherit flag".
That is, inodes created in the directory will automatically inherit
the on-disk inode DAX flag, enabling administrators to set up
directory heirarchies that automatically use DAX. Setting this flag
on an empty root directory will make the entire filesystem use DAX
by default.

xfs: timestamp updates cause excessive fdatasync log traffic
Sage Weil reported that a ceph test workload was writing to the
log on every fdatasync during an overwrite workload. Event tracing
showed that the only metadata modification being made was the
timestamp updates during the write(2) syscall, but fdatasync(2)
is supposed to ignore them. The key observation was that the
transactions in the log all looked like this:
INODE: #regs: 4 ino: 0x8b flags: 0x45 dsize: 32
And contained a flags field of 0x45 or 0x85, and had data and
attribute forks following the inode core. This means that the
timestamp updates were triggering dirty relogging of previously
logged parts of the inode that hadn't yet been flushed back to
disk.
There are two parts to this problem. The first is that XFS relogs
dirty regions in subsequent transactions, so it carries around the
fields that have been dirtied since the last time the inode was
written back to disk, not since the last time the inode was forced
into the log.
The second part is that on v5 filesystems, the inode change count
update during inode dirtying also sets the XFS_ILOG_CORE flag, so
on v5 filesystems this makes a timestamp update dirty the entire
inode.
As a result when fdatasync is run, it looks at the dirty fields in
the inode, and sees more than just the timestamp flag, even though
the only metadata change since the last fdatasync was just the
timestamps. Hence we force the log on every subsequent fdatasync
even though it is not needed.
To fix this, add a new field to the inode log item that tracks
changes since the last time fsync/fdatasync forced the log to flush
the changes to the journal. This flag is updated when we dirty the
inode, but we do it before updating the change count so it does not
carry the "core dirty" flag from timestamp updates. The fields are
zeroed when the inode is marked clean (due to writeback/freeing) or
when an fsync/datasync forces the log. Hence if we only dirty the
timestamps on the inode between fsync/fdatasync calls, the fdatasync
will not trigger another log force.

The recent change to the readdir locking made in 40194ec ("xfs:
reinstate the ilock in xfs_readdir") for CXFS directory sanity was
probably the wrong thing to do. Deep in the readdir code we
can take page faults in the filldir callback, and so taking a page
fault while holding an inode ilock creates a new set of locking
issues that lockdep warns all over the place about.
The locking order for regular inodes w.r.t. page faults is io_lock
-> pagefault -> mmap_sem -> ilock. The directory readdir code now
triggers ilock -> page fault -> mmap_sem. While we cannot deadlock
at this point, it inverts all the locking patterns that lockdep
normally sees on XFS inodes, and so triggers lockdep. We worked
around this with commit 93a8614 ("xfs: fix directory inode iolock
lockdep false positive"), but that then just moved the lockdep
warning to deeper in the page fault path and triggered on security
inode locks. Fixing the shmem issue there just moved the lockdep
reports somewhere else, and now we are getting false positives from
filesystem freezing annotations getting confused.
Further, if we enter memory reclaim in a readdir path, we now get
lockdep warning about potential deadlocks because the ilock is held
when we enter reclaim. This, again, is different to a regular file
in that we never allow memory reclaim to run while holding the ilock
for regular files. Hence lockdep now throws
ilock->kmalloc->reclaim->ilock warnings.
Basically, the problem is that the ilock is being used to protect
the directory data and the inode metadata, whereas for a regular
file the iolock protects the data and the ilock protects the
metadata. From the VFS perspective, the i_mutex serialises all
accesses to the directory data, and so not holding the ilock for
readdir doesn't matter. The issue is that CXFS doesn't access
directory data via the VFS, so it has no "data serialisaton"
mechanism. Hence we need to hold the IOLOCK in the correct places to
provide this low level directory data access serialisation.
The ilock can then be used just when the extent list needs to be
read, just like we do for regular files. The directory modification
code can take the iolock exclusive when the ilock is also taken,
and this then ensures that readdir is correct excluded while
modifications are in progress.

Lockdep annotations are a maintenance nightmare. Locking has to be
modified to suit the limitations of the annotations, and we're
always having to fix the annotations because they are unable to
express the complexity of locking heirarchies correctly.
So, next up, we've got more issues with lockdep annotations for
inode locking w.r.t. XFS_LOCK_PARENT:
- lockdep classes are exclusive and can't be ORed together
to form new classes.
- IOLOCK needs multiple PARENT subclasses to express the
changes needed for the readdir locking rework needed to
stop the endless flow of lockdep false positives involving
readdir calling filldir under the ILOCK.
- there are only 8 unique lockdep subclasses available,
so we can't create a generic solution.
IOWs we need to treat the 3-bit space available to each lock type
differently:
- IOLOCK uses xfs_lock_two_inodes(), so needs:
- at least 2 IOLOCK subclasses
- at least 2 IOLOCK_PARENT subclasses
- MMAPLOCK uses xfs_lock_two_inodes(), so needs:
- at least 2 MMAPLOCK subclasses
- ILOCK uses xfs_lock_inodes with up to 5 inodes, so needs:
- at least 5 ILOCK subclasses
- one ILOCK_PARENT subclass
- one RTBITMAP subclass
- one RTSUM subclass
For the IOLOCK, split the space into two sets of subclasses.
For the MMAPLOCK, just use half the space for the one subclass to
match the non-parent lock classes of the IOLOCK.
For the ILOCK, use 0-4 as the ILOCK subclasses, 5-7 for the
remaining individual subclasses.
Because they are now all different, modify xfs_lock_inumorder() to
handle the nested subclasses, and to assert fail if passed an
invalid subclass. Further, annotate xfs_lock_inodes() to assert fail
if an invalid combination of lock primitives and inode counts are
passed that would result in a lockdep subclass annotation overflow.

xfs_ifree_cluster() is called to mark all in-memory inodes and inode

starting inode number to walk the namespace of inodes expected for a
single chunk a cluster buffer at a time. The cluster buffer disk
addresses are calculated by decoding the sequential inode numbers
expected from the chunk.
The problem with this approach is that if the inode chunk being removed
is a sparse chunk, not all of the buffer addresses that are calculated
as part of this sequence may be inode clusters. Attempting to acquire
the buffer based on expected inode characterstics (i.e., cluster length)
can lead to errors and is generally incorrect.
We already use a couple variables to carry requisite state from
xfs_difree() to xfs_ifree_cluster(). Rather than add a third, define a
new internal structure to carry the existing parameters through these
functions. Add an alloc field that represents the physical allocation
bitmap of inodes in the chunk being removed. Modify xfs_ifree_cluster()

XFS uses the internal tmpfile() infrastructure for the whiteout inode

the inode, drops di_nlink, adds the inode to the agi unlinked list,
calls d_tmpfile() which correspondingly drops i_nlink of the vfs inode,
and then finishes the common inode setup (e.g., clear I_NEW and unlock).
The d_tmpfile() call was originally made inxfs_create_tmpfile(), but was
pulled up out of that function as part of the following commit to
resolve a deadlock issue:

As a result, callers of xfs_create_tmpfile() are responsible for either
calling d_tmpfile() or fixing up i_nlink appropriately. The whiteout
tmpfile allocation helper does neither. As a result, the vfs ->i_nlink
becomes inconsistent with the on-disk ->di_nlink once xfs_rename() links
it back into the source dentry and calls xfs_bumplink().

xfs_attr_inactive() is supposed to clean up the attribute fork when
the inode is being freed. While it removes attribute fork extents,
it completely ignores attributes in local format, which means that
there can still be active attributes on the inode after
xfs_attr_inactive() has run.
This leads to problems with concurrent inode writeback - the in-core
inode attribute fork is removed without locking on the assumption
that nothing will be attempting to access the attribute fork after a
call to xfs_attr_inactive() because it isn't supposed to exist on
disk any more.
To fix this, make xfs_attr_inactive() completely remove all traces
of the attribute fork from the inode, regardless of it's state.
Further, also remove the in-core attribute fork structure safely so
that there is nothing further that needs to be done by callers to
clean up the attribute fork. This means we can remove the in-core
and on-disk attribute forks atomically.
Also, on error simply remove the in-memory attribute fork. There's
nothing that can be done with it once we have failed to remove the
on-disk attribute fork, so we may as well just blow it away here
anyway.

Whiteouts are used by overlayfs - it has a crazy convention that a

Because it's not documented anywhere, here's an example of what
RENAME_WHITEOUT does on ext4:
# echo foo > /mnt/scratch/foo
# echo bar > /mnt/scratch/bar
# ls -l /mnt/scratch
total 24

drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Feb 11 20:18 lost+found
# cat /mnt/scratch/bar
foo
#
In XFS rename terms, the operation that has been done is that source
(foo) has been moved to the target (bar), which is like a nomal
rename operation, but rather than the source being removed, it have
been replaced with a whiteout.
We can't allocate whiteout inodes within the rename transaction due
to allocation being a multi-commit transaction: rename needs to
be a single, atomic commit. Hence we have several options here, form
most efficient to least efficient:
- use DT_WHT in the target dirent and do no whiteout inode
allocation. The main issue with this approach is that we need
hooks in lookup to create a virtual chardev inode to present
to userspace and in places where we might need to modify the
dirent e.g. unlink. Overlayfs also needs to be taught about
DT_WHT. Most invasive change, lowest overhead.
- create a special whiteout inode in the root directory (e.g. a
".wino" dirent) and then hardlink every new whiteout to it.
This means we only need to create a single whiteout inode, and
rename simply creates a hardlink to it. We can use DT_WHT for
these, though using DT_CHR means we won't have to modify
overlayfs, nor anything in userspace. Downside is we have to
look up the whiteout inode on every operation and create it if
it doesn't exist.
- copy ext4: create a special whiteout chardev inode for every
whiteout. This is more complex than the above options because
of the lack of atomicity between inode creation and the rename
operation, requiring us to create a tmpfile inode and then
linking it into the directory structure during the rename. At
least with a tmpfile inode crashes between the create and
rename doesn't leave unreferenced inodes or directory
pollution around.
By far the simplest thing to do in the short term is to copy ext4.
While it is the most inefficient way of supporting whiteouts, but as
an initial implementation we can simply reuse existing functions and
add a small amount of extra code the the rename operation.
When we get full whiteout support in the VFS (via the dentry cache)
we can then look to supporting DT_WHT method outlined as the first
method of supporting whiteouts. But until then, we'll stick with
what overlayfs expects us to be: dumb and stupid.

The jump labels are ambiguous and unclear and some of the error
paths are used inconsistently. Rules for error jumps are:
- use out_trans_cancel for unmodified transaction context
- use out_bmap_cancel on ENOSPC errors
- use out_trans_abort when transaction is likely to be dirty.

When doing RENAME_WHITEOUT, we now have to lock 5 inodes into the
rename transaction. This means we need to update
xfs_sort_for_rename() and xfs_lock_inodes() to handle up to 5
inodes. Because of the vagaries of rename, this means we could have
anywhere between 3 and 5 inodes locked into the transaction....
While xfs_lock_inodes() does not need anything other than an assert
telling us we are passing more inodes that we ever thought we should
see, it could do with a logic rework to remove all the indenting.
This is not a functional change - it just makes the code a lot
easier to read.

We shouldn't get here with RENAME_EXCHANGE set and no
target_ip, but let's be defensive, because xfs_cross_rename()
will dereference it.

Al Viro noticed a generic set of issues to do with filehandle lookup
racing with dentry cache setup. They involve a filehandle lookup
occurring while an inode is being created and the filehandle lookup
racing with the dentry creation for the real file. This can lead to
multiple dentries for the one path being instantiated. There are a
host of other issues around this same set of paths.
The underlying cause is that file handle lookup only waits on inode
cache instantiation rather than full dentry cache instantiation. XFS
is mostly immune to the problems discovered due to it's own internal
inode cache, but there are a couple of corner cases where races can
happen.
We currently clear the XFS_INEW flag when the inode is fully set up
after insertion into the cache. Newly allocated inodes are inserted
locked and so aren't usable until the allocation transaction
commits. This, however, occurs before the dentry and security
information is fully initialised and hence the inode is unlocked and
available for lookups to find too early.
To solve the problem, only clear the XFS_INEW flag for newly created
inodes once the dentry is fully instantiated. This means lookups
will retry until the XFS_INEW flag is removed from the inode and
hence avoids the race conditions in questions.
THis also means that xfs_create(), xfs_create_tmpfile() and
xfs_symlink() need to finish the setup of the inode in their error
paths if we had allocated the inode but failed later in the creation
process. xfs_symlink(), in particular, needed a lot of help to make
it's error handling match that of xfs_create().
